But he's arguably better than almost every defenseman there...........now. Why wait?
Not directed at you, I just hate the mindset (if true) that a player being a few months older trumps another player who is clearly better. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Hopefully things change after this year and they just start selecting the best team based on skill rather than their birth certificate, and possibly other lame excuses (favoritism, race, etc)
